History Manga / MobileSuitGundam0083Rebellion

* CyberCyclops: Zeon designed units as usual. Cima even criticizes the Gerbera Tetra for having two eyes and has it changed to one.

''Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Rebellion'' is a manga adaptation of the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory'' OVA penned by the Takashi Imanishi, the director of the latter half of the anime with art and mech designs by Masato Natsumoto. It began in June of 2013. It's published by Kadokawa with 15 volumes as of October 2020.

* AdaptationalBadass:
** While Neuen Bitter was a skilled soldier in both series, in ''Stardust Memory'' he went out in a Custom Zaku II F2, here [[spoiler:he pilots a superweapon forged from the Adzam and Apsallus]], and comes close to completely destroying the Albion rather than nearly destroying its cockpit.
** Kelly Layzer's expanded role in the story allows him numerous showings of his abilities. He's a OneManArmy during the assault on Konpei Island [[spoiler:and he pilots the Dendrobium alongside Uraki's Gundam GP-03 against the Zeon Remnants]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: ZigZagged with Cima. She never comes across as particularly sympathetic in the original OVA [[spoiler:in spite of aiding the Federation in attempting to stop Operation Stardust]] but side material like ''The Mayfly of Space'' established her as an AntiVillain used and abused by the Zeon war machine. With the side material integrated into the story telling this time around, Cima's actions are depicted in a much more sympathetic light and she's shown to have more loyalty towards her comrades. ''Rebellion'' also cuts out [[spoiler:her ordering Kult out on a suicide mission and damaging Burning's GM, leading to his death]], both kills instead given to Kelly. While neither moment is a complete KickTheDog, dropping them ends up making Cima easier to root for.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Since Lt. Allen survives a lot longer he's fleshed out more and he ends up taking some of Monsha's role as the guy who wants the Gundam for himself. When cleaning up Karcs's room, he slams Kou against the wall, demanding the suit. He's also the one that screws with the terminal to get Kou to crash his fighter rather than Monsha; all to make Kou look incompetent.
* AdaptationalKarma: The thugs that beat up Kou in the alleyway in Von Braun just kick his ass and walk away in ''Stardust Memory''. In ''Rebellion'', they're established to be Zeon remnants looking to meet up with other Zekes and after beating up Kou, they even consider shooting him to keep him quiet. The meet up they attend is actually a trap set by the Feds who ambush and arrest them.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Monsha, much like in the ''Super Robot Wars'' games, is softened from his original ornery portrayal. He's still a boisterous loud mouth, but ''Rebellion'' cuts his lecherousness down and removes the scenes of him sexually harassing his coworkers and trying to look up Nina's skirt with his GM's camera. Him endangering Kou by tampering with his landing of a Core Fighter is done by Allen instead. Monsha's relationship with Kou is also much less personal and hostile; he doesn't like Uraki, but he doesn't zero in on him nearly as much as in the source material.

* AnArmAndALeg:
** Kelly was wounded at the battle of Solomon, his left arm had to be amputated and his Biggro's left claw was blown off.
** During the battle of A Baoa Qu, a Federation ship blasted off the right arm of Gato's Gelgoog.
** Gato manages to get the drop on Adel and blows off the arm of Adel's GM Custom with a bazooka shot.
** When Gaily goes up against Uraki, Kou blasts off his Dom's arm with a cannon shot.
** Lt. Allen blasts at the Kraken team with the G Armor II's cannon; lining the shot up so that an arm from both the Hy-Gogg and Z'Gok-E are taken off with the same shot.

* AscendedExtra:
** Dick Allen, the Powered GM Pilot, survives his encounter with the Dom early in the series and is expanded upon much more in this version of events.
** Geil Hunt, a marine from Cima's past who only appeared in ''The Mayfly of Space'' sidestory, has a role in the series proper this time. He's a soldier in the Federation and he's the one used to broker the deal with Cima's fleet.
** Kelly Layzner is incorporated more into the flashback arcs and his time with Gato and Nina is given more focus. Notably Kelly survives his fatal encounter with Kou on the moon and assists in the attack on Konpei Island. He has a much larger character arc this time around [[spoiler:even having a HeelFaceTurn after the nuking of Solomon]].

* ChekhovsGunman: As in ''Stardust Memory'', during Delaz's broadcast, the familiar figure of Bask Ohm is easily spotted behind Admiral Kowen. He even get's a panel to himself as he contemplates on Delaz's speech.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Nick Orville]] is hunted down and killed by mobsters affiliated with Zeon who didn't want said affiliation going public. In the OVA Zeon's attempts to kill him failed and he was presumably captured offscreen.
* DecompositeCharacter: Bernard Monsha's role in the series is divided between him and Dick Allen. Monsha retains much of his character, but he's introduced into the Albion crew much later and his scenes and the desire to pilot Unit 1 are taken up by Allen. Right as Allen departs the ship, Monsha rushes in to fill the void and resume his old role.

* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Gato sneaks past Earth Customs dressed as this. It's played for comedy.
* HeroicSacrifice: Much in the vein of Ryu from the original ''Gundam'', [[spoiler:Allen]] sacrifices himself by kamikazeing his core fighter into the charging blast of a Zeon Mobile Armor, saving the Albion crew at the cost of his life.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Miller's not exactly a friendly or ethical person but she does have her head in the game. She sees through the Zeon feint with a disguised civilian ship and bluntly makes it clear her distrust of the Anaheim engineers; a well founded distrust as the spy is hidden amongst them.
* KickTheDog: Nakato doesn't kill Lucette in this adaptation, to make up for it he has the ship he's on use the civilian La Vie En Rose as a shield, and threatens to shoot the Federation Captain when he objects to endangering a civilian craft in such a way.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Admiral John Kowen, as in the original OVA. Kowen is level-headed, civil, and kind in contrast to the rest of the Federation top brass who run the gambit from egotistical to petty to flat out evil.
* RedRightHand: Ensign Claude Kurtz (aka Geil Hunt) has a perpetual "cheeky grin" on his face. Bate points out that his face is actually stuck like that due to nerve damage around the large facial scar Kurtz has.

* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Lt. Dick Allen was killed in the ''Stardust Memory'' when a Dom fired a bazooka round straight through his cockpit. In ''Rebellion'' the rocket strikes his backpack from further back and he survives. Allen would go on to accompany the Albion crew for more of the story and [[spoiler:dies much later during the fight to stop the HLV from launching at the Zeon base in Africa]].
** When Kelly Layzner finally goes out to fight GP-01, he can't bring himself to fight as harshly as he did in the OVA and Uraki himself can't bring himself to kill him. However, Gato shows up personally to collect him and Kelly makes his getaway to go on to play a bigger role in the story.
** The theft of GP-03 plays out much differently in this version and Lucette Audevie is taken hostage in the cockpit. She never has the confrontation with Nakato that leads to him shooting her.

* TheBusCameBack: Alice Miller returns, still working with the Intelligence Bureau. She's brought on to investigate the intel leak and report on the Albion's progress. Terry Sanders Jr. shows up as a soldier at the Lhase Base in Central Asia; Bate gets into a fist fight with him.

*** A trio of Zudahs are deployed by Cima's forces to defend the falling colony.

*** A variation of the RTX-440 Ground Assault Type Guntank is deployed on the moon in response to Gato's reappearance.

** When Kelly Layzner finally goes out to fight GP-01, he can't bring himself to fight as harshly as he did in the OVA and Uraki himself can't bring himself to kill him. However, Gato shows up personally to collect him and Kelly makes his getaway to go on to play a bigger role in the story.

* GrandTheftPrototype: As in the original, the main conflict is kicked off with the theft of the GP-02.

** The full range of Anavel Gato's custom suits are displayed in the manga before he trades up for the SuperPrototype GP02. He deploys in his MS-09RS Rick Dom for the battle of Solomon and then his custom MS-14A Gelgoog during the battle of A Baoa Qu. In the present he takes his MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type into battle against the Immortal 4th Team. Much like Char's customs, Gato has his own painted in his personal colors (blues and greens).
